Publ v0.7.5

Releasing v0.7.5 of Publ just to get some bugfixes out. Namely:

• Update Flask to v2.0 and refactor around typing issues
• Add missing test for path_alias_regex
• Handle normalization collisions better
• Don’t erroneously pre-strip markup from autosummary
• Improve handling of pre-paragraph block tags in paragraph extractor

Publ v0.7.4, Authl v0.6.0

Released new versions of Publ and Authl today.

First, the Authl changes:

• Fixed some test coverage
• Changed Twitter user URLs to be stable (but less readable)
• Added profile_url field to user profiles to make up for the Twitter URL thing

And the Publ changes:

• Fixed image cache stale directory removal
• Fix ETag output
• Full-text search now properly excludes future articles
• Added a filename normalization tool
• Fixed an Internal Server Error that occurred from a malformed or expired bearer token (AutoAuth et al)
• Updated to Authl 0.6.0 and made use of the new profile_url field

Publ v0.7.3

Publ v0.7.3 is now out, with the following changes:

• Properly handles markdown and HTML stripping in summary text
• Improves first-paragraph extraction for OpenGraph cards
• Reduces unnecessary image renditions for OpenGraph cards
• Finally deprecates the AUTHL_FORCE_SSL configuration setting
• Adds group display to the user information on the admin panel
• Fix the PyPI listing
• Make the image rendition cache purge mechanism actually, you know, work

Note that entry.summary now takes an optional parameter, markup, which defaults to True, for the sake of consistency with the rest of the Publ templating API. If you are using entry.summary to provide descriptive text for things (e.g. <a title="{{entry.summary}}"> or <meta name="description" content="{{entry.summary}}">) this will have to change to {{entry.summary(markup=False)}}.

Authl v0.5.2

Authl v0.5.2 is now out.

Changes:

• Fixed some caching-related issues on IndieAuth profiles
• The IndieAuth handler now supports PKCE
• IndieAuth takes detection priority over Fediverse
• Authl is now compatible with Flask 2.0

Authl v0.5.1 released

I’ve just released v0.5.1 of Authl. The only functional change is adding support for actually parsing IndieAuth server response profiles (rather than just requesting one and only using the h-card), now that there’s implementations in the wild, meaning that egg has hatched into a chicken.

There were also some minor documentation cleanups since v0.5.0.

Publ v0.7.2, Authl v0.5.0

Big new releases for Publ and Authl!

Publ changes:

• Added support for IndieAuth Ticket Auth, allowing aware readers to automatically log in on your behalf and get private entries
• Added support for HTML 5 lazy image loading; all images are now lazy-loaded by default

Authl changes:

• Improve the meta robots rules on the login form
• Add IndieWeb endpoint discovery to the profile

Publ 0.7.1, now with full-text search

I finally got around to adding whoosh full-text search to Publ, as an experimental feature. See it in operation.

Other changes:

• Improve the way that tag names get normalized
• Change entry.prev and entry.next to not default to subcategory recursion if a category context is specified

v0.7.0 finally released

It took me way longer than I should have, but I finally decided to bump the minor version of Publ to 0.7.0.

My original intention was to only do that after getting the unit test coverage up to 90%, then to 80%, then to 50%… but it’s at 45% and that’s Good Enough I guess. I’d still like to get some proper automated testing in place for the bits that are tricky to test but with a system as complex as Publ it’s not particularly clear how to do a lot of that. The main issue is a fundamental mismatch between how the underlying ORM works vs. how unit testing is supposed to work, and I’ve so far been unable to square that circle. But maybe someday I’ll get the test coverage number up where I want it to be.

In any case, the only actual code change since 0.6.14 was some fixes to how page redirection works, especially around private entries.
